Based on Chanda Hahn’s characters from the “Unfortunate Fairytale” Series. I promise I’m not making any profit out of this, it’s just a Creative Writing exercise. This story is set after the Bethrotal but before the War.Continue reading →

Prompt: Write an active scene (a dinner, a romance, an adventure) from the first person POV of no more than 500 words. Now take the exact same scene and write it again from the omniscient POV, entirely from scratch and without looking at the first version. Submit both scenes, and further, please comment on what changes you discover as you shift from one POV (I am telling the story…) to the other (the all-seeing creator tells the story…).

Prompt: Create a scene (700-1000 words) with at least three characters. Two of these characters should have different viewpoints on the world; one should be an “insider” in the world you’re creating, and one should be an outsider. For example, you could set the scene in your country and have one person be native and one be a foreign visitor. The third character should be an eavesdropper on a conversation between the first two. Construct the story using no more than three speech tags (a speech tag is something that identifies a speaker, like “she said” and “Kevin replied”); instead, use the setting, descriptions, and idiosyncrasies to make the speakers identifiable. Be careful, however, to avoid caricature.

And how come they’re not working? Hello! It’s MONDAY! Don’t you people have stuff to do other than crowd the place like it was your house? Continue reading →

Written for a Creative Writing Course. The prompt was to create a character from two others. For this, I created Valentine, who is a mix between Drusilla and Spike, from Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Continue reading →

A creative writing piece. The prompt is to write a “HABITUAL RITUAL” using second person, or “you”.

You hang up the phone and look at it. You’re not sure if what you heard is right, but it must be, because, why else would your heart feel like this? Why else would it thump so hard inside your chest? So you cling to hope, you kinda have to, or you won’t be able to do what you need to do next. Continue reading →
